True HPA reservoir question

Hello all
Coming from years of successful grows with my many ebb and flow systems, I decided to build a bigger system and instead of sticking with what I know I bought a mist king ultimate misting system and am finally taking the plunge to true high pressure aeroponics. I'm wondering if I would need to supply and airstone into the res of the system. In my ebb and flow it is a totally necessary item....

My thoughts are no because of the nature of the system itself but wondering what those more experienced in this specific type of growing have to say about it?

You don’t need to aerate the reservoir, just have to keep it mixed with a powerhead or pump.

Just my 2 cents, I believe the more dissolved air in the solution the better, I have an air stone in my reservoir, but don’t know that it’s necessary.

Yeah its in there just in case, I figured why not ? I have the pump and stones

Oh yeah, more air, no stagnant water, that’s what I don’t like about the accumulator tank, harder to aerate under pressure probably.

Hey, just to add to the solution & air issue, I think temperature of the nutrients solution is as important, and no light to the solution supply or return lines. Just corrected that myself
